I'm keen to enter more triathlons next year and would like to start looking at which events to enter and need to find a good web site where they are listed together with the relevant race details - there seem to be a few around but not found one thats any good.
Also, is it worth joining Triathlon England - i cant see that there are many benefits?
Finally, anyone belong to one of the many on-line tri-clubs and if so, are they worth joining.
Thanks as always

I'm not totally au fait with it at the moment but basically the benefits are
* small reduction in race fees
* some included insurance
err....
that's about it. If you are coaching tri then you have to be a member for insurance AIUI. If you want to race for GB as an AGer you need to be a member.
Otherwise if the insurance suits what YOU need and you'll be entering a few races then you might view it as cost effective.
Oh - if you race abroad, especially France it may make your entry to races easier (that was the case a few years ago anyway. France has some laws about participants needing a doctor's letter but BTF membership may be the equivalent.??)
depends what you are looking for really from your online tri club experience?

I have joined the BTF, i dont think i get my money back on race licences but you are insured to a point when you train. I think joining is worth while as it does help does other things.
